Seoul Metropolitan Council Press Room Relocated to Seosomun Office Building 2

To Improve Press Access, Main Building Relocated Next to Assembly Hall with New Renovation... Press Room Seats Increased from 9 to 25, Enhancing Capacity and Convenience

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] The Seoul Metropolitan Council (Chairman Kim In-ho) has newly renovated and started operating the outdated press room, which was located on the first floor of the main building, on the second floor of Building 2 at Seosomun Office Complex from March 24.

This relocation of the press room is a measure to enhance the promotion of council activities and media coverage. By establishing the press room next to the council members' office building, where the council members' research offices are located, it is expected that the accessibility for the press corps covering council members and standing committees will improve.

The newly established press room has expanded the space by about 1.5 times and significantly increased the number of seats (from 9 to 25) to prevent coverage confusion and minimize congestion during busy situations such as press briefings. In particular, a new podium (450cm × 180cm × 60cm) has been installed at the rear of the press room to improve convenience for video and photo journalists.

Jo Kyung-ik, Director of the Public Relations Office, stated, “The previous press room was cramped and inconvenient to use, but the newly relocated press room has about three times more seats and improved facilities. As this effort aims to enhance coverage convenience in line with the elevated status of local councils, we kindly ask the press corps to show more interest and affection toward the Seoul Metropolitan Council and continue their coverage.”
